We could have spoken for another few hours. We hardly touched on Nick Pentith and the Oxpens development!

But appreciate the words. I worried people would have consigned those years to ancient history but it's very timely I guess!

Oxpens would be the perfect location for a stadium...Triangle close second.

A stadium would be too heavy, we looked into it. That's why the ice rink has that weird architecture. The ground there is sinking!

Has the ice rink closed now?

This FOUL episode is a must listen.

Absolutely insane times for our club, and an indication of why stadium issues are so complex and difficult.

Brilliant podcast.

Almost makes the current planning trials and tribulations seeem like a “ walk in the park “
Some interesting insights into the real character of Firoz Kassam and his resilience and determination in “completing” the stadium and the Ozone complex- helped in no small way by FOUL.
Remarkable in many ways .

Has the ice rink closed now?

Nope, the council god bless them and I mean that are ploughing money into it (labour driven) while the Libdems seem to be wanting to close it, shutting the car park, congestion charge etc ..

interesting! I always thought a stadium round the back of Becket st next to the railway line would've been a brilliant place - but very boggy ground i should think

The KR interview could be very interesting!

 

[McXal]

Yes really looking forward to the KR pod. If nothing else that guy can talk! Kudos to the BTB team for getting him on (and to him for sticking his neck out and agreeing to go on!).

Looking forward to hearing from (don’t f-ck with) Skarz too! Those games where he played on one leg to get us promoted don’t get talked about enough. I happened to meet him a few years after and he couldn’t have been nicer or more humble about it.

 

[Steve Gilbert]

The KR interview could be very interesting!

I am sure we will see a few old forum members post again once it has come out.

[McXal]

Have now sat and listened to the KR pod. To the shock of nobody he had plenty to say!

Hearing his take on his exit and the Matty Taylor transfer was certainly a different perspective. I was disappointed (albeit not surprised and fully understanding the reason why) he wasn’t pressed more on how poor we were in that final season. He touches on it. But given that it felt like he could (should?) have gone in the autumn and he eventually went in late Feb I’d have liked a little more substance on just how poor we were that year.

Fair play on him for agreeing to do the pod at all. And it was nice to hear him talk largely positively about his time at the club and the affection he holds for it. He’s certainly an interesting character…

[Foley]

Very interesting listen
It sounds as if the Harris deal had just about been agreed prior to KR leaving

 

[Foley]

Another good listen.
It sounds as if playing for us when injured just about finished his career.

 

[Media Geezer]

 

[Foley]

He sounds as really good guy.
Really good to remember all of the good times under KR that he played for us.
It does make you wonder if he had joined us under MAPP, whether we could have gone straight through into the Championship

[ECYellow]

This is a great listen! Nick is a genuine Oxford legend, whose affection for his club comes across so well here.

Look forward to listening to the second half.

 

[Colin B]

I have yet to listen to a bad episode of Behind The Badge.

It is excellent every time. Good guests, good questions, and well produced. We are very lucky to have the quality of external media output that we do.

 

[isibuko]

Really wonderful listen. That man has some stories to tell!

 

[Media Geezer]

 

[Foley]

Teriffic episode.
Looking forward to the second one.

 

[isibuko]

This was a really wonderful interview with a real broadcasting legend.

 

[Foley]

Another teriffic episode.
Nick Harris is an Oxford United legend

It must be nearly 25 years that Nick, Nathan and Nathan have been commenting together on Oxford United games. That is quite amazing.
